Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Excision repair cross-complementation group 4 gene (ERCC4/XPF) plays an important role in nucleotide excision repair and participates in removal of DNA interstrand cross-links and DNA double-strand breaks. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ERCC4 may impact repair capacity and affect cancer susceptibility. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this case-control study, we evaluated associations of...
